Subject: Peggy-O

Peggy-O has never been one of my favorite Dead tunes. But the version Jerry plays here, even though he flubs the lyrics for a moment, the sound of his guitar & his singing is front & center & he plays a very beautiful version of this song. At times, in concert, I've heard Jerry play lead riffs that were just so beautiful that it had me in tears. And hearing this version of Peggy-O reminds me of those occasions. Makes me wonder if he had people in the audience in tears during this song? Cuz it is a very beautiful version of this song!

Subject: radio interview

The interview has the two channels 180 degrees out of phase.
Listen, that's what out of phase sounds like.
Invert the waveform of one channel and it sounds natural.

Has kind of become my go to for auds. I have yet to hear one that has bad sound. They are almost matrix quality, and this fine show is no exception.

Subject: well well you can never tell

Has good tune selection especially like having Ramble On Rose in Second Set and Shakedown coming out of drumz.
Disco mosh pit in 78???- probably not.

Subject: Uncle Bobo is really going to close it this time

Nothing about this show really jumped out in the 1st set at me. I enjoyed They Love Each Other & Peggy-O, but otherwise average, I wasn't even going to review this show.

Then they started to smolder in the second set ! Really nice Estimated/Eyes etc. but loved the Drums, and in the space, is that a bit of Ollin Arrageed I hear ? Shakedown into the Sugar was sweet also. I really enjoyed the post show interview also. Very nice ! Overall 4**** !! Thank you :)

Subject: echoing praises to Joani

I never met Joani, but every day on my site I post the shows of the day from GD, pheesh, and Zero history, and I add the taper attribution. So I've I've typed Joani's name thousands of times and listened to hundreds of her shows. Can't thank you enough for your contribution to taping history. Cheers!

Subject: Thanks Joani

I was at this show and saw a taper and introduced myself to Joani. She kindly spun me a cassette off her master and mailed it to me back at UVa....eternally grateful Joani, this has always been one of my favorite shows. I particularly love the transition from Miracle to Bertha....some of the best stuff ever. Thanks Joani.
